Hi i'm new here, been doing alot of reading on this site and thought it was about time i posted.
I have a 1984 big red 200es that smokes. Lately it has gottin worse, and i noticed that the head gasket is starting to leak, I was wondering if the head gasket could be causing it to smoke.

welcome to 3ww,yea thats definately a possibility.i agree that the rings should be changed while your in there.read up on rings though only one way to do it all others are wrong.each ring has its own spot

90% of the time a 4 stroke smokes due to bad valve seals. rings rarely wear out.a bad head gasket is a possibility but most likely it would be very low on compression if the head gasket was causing it to smoke

That's a pretty clean looking engine judging from the pics....Originally Posted by kingcavinee
